Beans and chocolate are a great combination in my book, so I think I'd like this. I made some raw chocolate the other day and it's really interesting how just a couple really do satisfy. Thanks for joining in with WSC.<br /><br />Sorry to hear it's not been a great week, hope things improve.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-64095085921985050662014-06-29T18:17:15.475+10:002014-06-29T18:17:15.475+10:00I'll have to give this a go to use up some pan...I'll have to give this a go to use up some pantry ingredients.
